Which SanDisk app are you referring to?
SD card issue
I have the same problem (N9005, 32GB Samsung SD card) - after the update:
- Mybackup Pro is not able to backup on SD card (before it worked well)
- File mamager X-Plore can not create new folders on the external SD card
- similar with the Astro file manager
Only the system-own file manager can create folders. Reading from the card is possible.
After formatting the card: still the same problem.
has anyone additional information?
It's because of the security features of KK... These older apps aren't yet "approved" by Samsung. It has something to do with a simple permission to write to the sd card.
As was stated "Only the system-own file manager can create folders" as this is Samsung approned. Until the Apps are updated and the Samsung seal of approval given these may have trouble...
There is no problem if rooted...
I am truly enjoying KitKat but I wish I could get Titanium to back up to the external sd card.
I guess I will wait like everyone else for the app to get approval from Samsung. Perhaps that will come with the "official' release of KitKat.
Yes, I am rooted and it still cannot back up to the external sd.

Use External SD fix for KitKat - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607215
Hello
I have SanDisk 64gb microsd. I have not done anything to the phone and now periodically the phone stops reading the 64gb card .It does not say unmounted just when I check gallery the photos are not there and I have to restart the phone.
I have a rooted 4.3 ROM..The only thing I can think of is ES file explorer potentially caused issues. I noticed things acting weird after I used it when I do heavily.
Please help. Any and all advice welcome. Thanks
Tried to re flash a nandroid still issues. I noticed in general my touchwiz is running so slow. I flashed sacs red theme about a month ago. Not sure if that had anything to do with it. Should not have.
It will reread it when I remount it or reboot. Not sure specifically what is causing it though.

Have you tried searching the forums for sdcard fix? Google it? There have been issues with 4.4 and sdcard reading issues. Also downloading foldermount from the playstore has helped others with issues. If all else fails reinstall rom.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Free mobile app
I searched on Google and there is not really a concise answer as to why this happens. It is a very ambigious issue, however; it seems to be a reoccuring issue with SanDisk cards and 4.4 KitKat ROMs.
What I did was completely flush out and re-installed both custom recovery and my ROM to 4.2.2
It is disappointing because I really like my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone and you'd think upgrades mean better quality product when it has not. 4.4 KitKat ROM is not that good. I don't like both CM and TW versions of KK. One feature I do not like with TW KitKat is the inability to hide icons. There are also issues with battery drain and free hotspot mod.
I don't know what is going on. When I plug my phone into the computer I can access the SD card. When I check the phone it is not reading the SD card. Don't know what the problem is.
Have you tried a different SD card? That would help you determine if it is specific to the card or potentially a phone issue.
What I will do is try and format the SD card with the phone, then put everything back on. So far, I have isolated it to ESFile explorer. Initially I did not update the apk and thought that would work. It did not.
Here's what has happened:
I use ESFile explorer to access the SD card. Then when I went into clockworkmod, I tried to delete a nandroid copy I made. It says 'failed to delete'.
Then the ROM and sdCard do not work correctly anymore, so I have to wipe and re-flash an old nandroid.
Makes me wonder if something is corrupted in the SD Card. Everything used to work fine, but now whenever I access the SD Card with ESFile explorer, even the old version of it, it causes issue.
There is a problem with some Sandisk SD cards. Evidently there was a bad batch. I had some of the same issues. My card was bad. I went to Sandisk's website and they replaced it for free. I was without my card for a week but I got a new one and everything seems to be working fine now.
Can you explain how you did this ? So an update on my situation. I can read the sd card but it will not format and nothing can be written to the card. I tried using recovery and touchwiz to format and it fails.
Can access what is on there but cannot write or format anymore. Any ideas ? At this point I swapped to a new SanDisk card I had lying around. Don't know what to do with the old card

I assume you are asking me how I got my card replaced. I did some research and found the issue mentioned here on XDA as well as on the internet. I went to Sandisk's website, http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/list/kw/microsd microsdhc/, and did some more research. I finally contacted their customer service and they told me the process for getting the replacement shipped. If I were you I would just contact their customer service on their website and let them run you through the process.
I have a strange problem with my note3 n9005 that is running omega v.16
Lately when I install an app from play store it works great until I reboot the device.. After I reboot the app I just installed is gone and I have to install it again..
My old apps that I have installed before this problem started occurring are just fine, and does not disappear after a reboot.
Does anyone know why this is happening, and if there is a way to fix it?
Thanks in advance
Are your apps installed on your external SD card?

Good question, I have a 64gb SanDisk card in the phone, but as far as I know I never choose to install anything on the external card.. Where and how do I check that?

I just checked, and you where right.. Some apps seems to automatically install on the external SD card, I moved it to device storage and it was still there after a reboot..
Many thanks my friend.
Now that leads me to my next question..
Sense many apps are installed to external SD and seems to work just fine even after a reboot, why doesn't any new apps stay there anymore?
I don't remember changing anything..
Is there a way to make it work again?
Thanks again
To be honest with you I'm not sure. I do know android has made some changes in KitKat in regards to the external SD card not being able to write/read for 3rd party apps. There was a fix for this somewhere on XDA. Now the question is, if this is related? Couldn't tell you. Only advice I can give is, leave your apps installed in your internal memory. Keep everything else for your external SD. Glad I could help!!

Yo. I may shed some light in this situation.
Get a new external SD card - 'tis what I did.
I had this 64GB SanDisk UHS-1 Class 10 - exactly what you have: http://www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/microsd/ultra-class10-for-android/
One day when I took out my MicroSD from my phone and put it back in. I thought everything was fine. During transfer it transferred things to my computer, but then it kept freezing up. My ROM file (250mb) was transferred somehow into my MicroSD along with the Google Apps zip. When I turned off my phone, preparing the ROM flash, I only saw my ROM file and not my Google Apps file. I thought "that was strange" and I did it again, by deleting both files just in case of MD5 mismatch. This time both files confirmed inside the MicroSD, I rebooted. No Gapps showed but my ROM showed, so I tried to install it (note I deleted this file already) and it said ERROR. I plugged it back into my computer, Google Apps was not there, but my other files like photos, music, app data still remained. One peculiar file popped up, was my ROM file. It was 20kb. I deleted it. Rebooted my phone, plugged it in. It appeared again.
Seems like my microSD entered a stage of read-only but it isn't actually read-only. Like it doesn't retain any information AT ALL. My MicroSD can't be touched, I tried deleting 13gb. Windows showed the data actually getting deleted with the bar (and it fluctuates in data I/O speeds!). Unplugged. Rebooted. Plugged back in. 13gb worth of files still there, in tact. Like a visual storage to fool people you can delete files but in fact you can't.
I tried it on my Note 1 (FAIL), Note 3 (FAIL). The only way I could read the extSD was to plug it in a microSD adapter and transfer files out of it. At least Sandisk thought of a failsafe read-only phase to back up files. Instead of breaking down completely.

You are absolutely right.. I checked the card buy putting it in my computer, and it was as you said in a read only state..
I was able to copy my things from the card, but I could not put anything on it.. I could not even delete anything or format it!
So I went to the store where I purchased it, and now I have a brand new Samsung UHS-I 64 GB.. Hopefully this one will last me longer.
Buy the way, it turned out that I purchased the card on July 17 last year, so had I been waiting for just 6 more days, I would not have been able to have it replaced.. So I owe you many thanks.

Hi, did u fixed it? I faced with same issue. Im looking for solution, will let you know if i get some.
Even I have the same problem I called customer care and they told me to visit service centre. I also tried factory reset but no use
Same here. I tried format the SD card in a Mac and a PC, tried again with other cards, but I have the same (frustrating) result. The only thing I didn't try yet was restoring the device, and I don't know if is a good idea (seems didn't working for any other person with the same problem).

Hi did you get that resolved?
I am having the same problem. I was using my old MicroSD Card. After the update for Android 6.0.1 it appeared a message saying that the card was corrupted or something like that and i might need to format it. I try to do so and and error appeared while formatting it as Internal so i remove the SD card and restart the cellphone and tried to do it at least as External Storage but i got the same error. So i bought a brand new MicroSD Card Class 10 32 Gb and had the same issue. I did a hard reset and start over and i have the same outcome.
All my SD Cards that i tried to use got recognized on my friends cellphones. Moto G Turbo, Moto G 2nd i got a Moto X play. The difference between them and i is t hat i have Android 6.0.1 and they 6.0.
Does somebody found the solution to this issue? . Which version of Android do you have 6.0 or 6.0.1. Everything got screwed up after the update.
Additional Details:
1. After the error appears the SD card is not being read anymore even if i eject it and insert it again. So i erased the Media Storage Cache and External Extorage Cache, restart the cellphone and put back the SD card again and i got recognized with the message that i need to format it. I try too many time reproducing this issue and i always got the same frustrating result. The SD cards were formatted on Mac and PC and also other Motorola phones and Same ****.
2. Called Motorola Services Desk on USA and LATAM. One of them told me to restore the cellphone to brand new state. I did it and same ****.
3. Am so sad for this not much information available
The same issue is there in many custom ROMs as well. I feel it's got something to do with 6.0.1 rather than the sd card itself.

Will try to factory restore and let you know !

No. I just bought the Moto X play. I was working fine with an Old SD Card. After i upgrade to 6.0 to 6.0.1 the SD Card is not read anymore and showing errors while format it internal or externally. I bought a faster card class 10 and same error. The thing is my friends with no update can read my cards without problems using same cellphones.
My sd card went crazy too after 6.0.1 though after a few tries I did manage to save everything on it into my pc using the sd card adapter. Then I did the slow format in Windows and put it back into the phone. So far it seems working fine.

I will try on a pc...did that on osx with Parallels Desktop...no go!
I have had the same issue as some above. Went wrong two weeks ago when the latest OTA became available from Motorola. The moment the phone restarted I received a warning that the microSD was not formatted, which had been previously set up as internal storage. I am 100% certain that it was the upgrade to 6.0.1 that did this, and not anything physical. I've tried approx 20 different methods to try to format it, both in the now-rooted X Play and on my PC, and even when it appears to be successful it actually isn't. Windows 10's diskpart will show the partitions, whilst most will not. It's as if the card has somehow become write-protected. The 128gb card was not cheap, so if anyone has had the same issue and has a solution, please give any tips you can!
Hello any solution for this ?
I'm willing to try and flash the 6.0 stock. Reporting here asap!
I need a fix for thisssssss! SD Card is not garbage now is it?
no way
sorry guys, bad news! I downgraded to Stock Android 6.0, it didn't fix the problem.
will try with a brand new sdcard...to see if the mxp is somehow very picky...or more simply the sdcard reader is damaged
hi guys!
i have the same issue with new 64 Gb microsd card. did anyone get the decision?
Hi, I recently stumbled upon an unpleasant issue. I got xt1562 (stock 6.0.1 EU, no root, no cwm) and sandisk ultra 64gb. Sometimes (I fail to identify the source of issue) the memory card just disappears and the phone doesn't see it. Since the card is formatted as internal, i cannot take even pictures or download anything via browser. SolidExplorer doesn't see it in the list of storage as well. Restarting the phone or replugging the tray helps for an uncertain amount of time, the card becomes visible and then disappears again. I looked for obvious answers, but it is something special (not mentioned here or in google to my best knowledge).
Does anyone know how to solve the issue? I would appreciate any comments as well.
Thanks.
I had this same problem, but it solved by itself.
for this particular reason I stopped using the memory card as internal storage.

I had the same disappearing issues before but since I did a slow format in Windows, the problem seems to go away. Never had any disconnect or disappearing issues again until now.

I'm getting exactly the same issue. I'm using a 128gb card formatted as portable storage (exFAT ). I know when the issue starts because taking a picture with the stock camera app causes it to crash, and spotify complains about there being no access to storage. The card is being detected by other apps and Androids built in file explorer. I have to restart the device to cure the issue.
I have the same issue since updating from 6.0 stock to 6.0.1 stock.
What changed? There must be a reason for this behaviour.
Same issue here too after updating to 6.0.1 ota. Have to restart for it to fix itself. I'm beginning to think it might be linked with charging but not certain yet.
Searching the net it seems that Samsung users are on 6.0.1 are having the same issues. Google must be aware by now.
I fixed it with a different kernel.
Phoenix --> permanent dismounts
Optimus --> works

Well, stock ist stock.
After updating to 6.0.1 I had no dismounts with stock kernel, but I didn't use it very long.
I flashed Phoenix kernel which resulted in lots of dismounts, this was fixed by Optimus Kernel for me.
I used to be have the same problem with a Sandisk Ultra 128GB.
I need to backup all files in windows and format it to back to normal.
This problem appears every 30-40 days after formatted.
The problem was finally solved by buying a new sd card (samsung pro).
Well, I was too fast reporting it fixed.
I still get unmounts. Not that often but it ain't fixed.
Never had a single unmount with 6.0.
Actually thinking of going back as this sucks balls.

I tried formatting my card back to exFAT. The dismounts were as much as every 10 minutes. I have now formatted the card back to FAT32, of which i had more stability, but this time I have started fresh with a completely empty card. Formatted in gparted then straight into the Moto. See how this goes.!!
Me too had similar issue after the latest ota update.
Everytime When I connect phn to PC via cable SD card disappears. SD card will not show in PC and phn. I need to restart phn to get it back. I'm using SD card as portable.
1st I formated the phn. But still the problem occurs
2nd I formated SD through PC. Result was successful. Now the card is OK not disappears while connecting to pc
This is the exact same issue I had since stock lollipop. I updated it to 6.0 since I though that this was the reason, It worked for half a day before it stopped and even on 6.1 it doesn't work.
For the record I also have Sandisk 128 gbs class 10. The only message I get is "Corrupted SanDisk SD Card”.
Some solved this problem with slow format option on PC.

Still no progress in resolving the issue
SInce my last post, I have formatted the card as external. It worked fine until i filled it up to 10gb (out of 64gb). Now I have exactly the same issue. Does anyone know how to let Google, Morotola know about it? Is it covered by any guarantee? I start thinking that I am back to 2007 with first android versions
